Chapter 11 Coffin Mountain Wood Selection
My sister didn't speak, but I could feel that she was staring at me, as if she was expecting something.
She could understand me, but she didn't seem to be able to speak right now. The only thing I can say is my brother. This makes me look forward to what she will be like in the future.
"I'll have to think about it!" I took a deep breath, and I couldn't find a name in my head for a moment.
I thought about Widow Chen for a while, and then I thought about my godfather.
"Godfather's surname is Liu, you are actually Godfather's daughter? Then follow the godfather's surname. But what's the right thing to call it? "I scratched my head and couldn't come up with a good name.
At this time, the master pushed open the door and walked in. Holding a plate of food in his hand, he glanced at me: "Eat something, you fell asleep after practicing, and I knew that you were tired, so I didn't call you when I was eating!" ”
"Thank you, master!" I've been busy taking the food and said gratefully.
The master turned his head and glanced at Liu Lingtong on the table: "What are you doing?" ”
"I, I want to give my sister a name. But I don't know what to call it for a while! I was a little speechless, and looked at the master in front of me with some apprehension.
The master was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses: "She is not born and has no difficulties, generally speaking, people who are not born and die are not reincarnated. The sixth woman saw her pitiful, so she refined her into Liu Lingtong, if you don't mind, you can call her Liu Ling'er directly! ”
"Liu Ling'er?" I looked up in surprise. At first glance, the name sounds pretty good.
I turned my head to look at my sister: "Then I'll call you Liu Ling'er in the future, okay?" ”
"Brother, brother......" The sister's voice seemed to be very cheerful, as if she had already recognized the name. Constant cheering!
Finally, he patted me on the shoulder: "After eating, clean up and continue to practice!" In the evening, let's take a trip to Coffin Mountain! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and when I was about to say something, the master had already left. Coffin Mountain is a mountain we have here, backed by the Dragon River, and there are many willows! In spring, the catkins rise with the wind, which can be said to be very spectacular. The whole Dragon River looks like it's snowing, and it looks quite beautiful. It is also a wonder of the entire Dragon River. However, ordinary people will not go to Coffin Mountain, which was originally called Guanshan, which means to watch the scenery. But with a war, many unjustly killed people have nowhere to bury, so they are thrown on the coffin mountain, and for a little time, some coffins will be polished at will, but burial is no longer possible.
On the coffin mountain, there is a corpse in three steps and a coffin in five steps. Before entering the Coffin Mountain, you can feel a very cold aura. Unless necessary! Villagers rarely go up to the coffin hill at night. Even, if there is something red and white at home, they will try to avoid the coffin mountain as much as possible.
I had some doubts in my mind. But since the master has orders, I can only obey them.
After eating, I accompanied my sister for a while, and after getting acquainted with each other, I began to go to the yard to continue practicing.
Night gradually fell, and the sky was cloudless. The autumn moon hangs high, and sparse stars dot the night. It looks exceptionally beautiful.
"Are you all ready?" The master walked out the door and glanced at me and my junior brother.
I raised my head: "It's so late, what are we going to do on Coffin Mountain?" ”
"Pick wood!" The master said lightly.
Then he took me and my junior brother and walked towards the gate. Adin strove boat, we carried across the Dragon River. After that, I waited by the Dragon River. And the master took us to the coffin mountain on the path. The surrounding air seemed to be much colder the moment it went up the coffin mountain! I shuddered, and my younger brother looked calm, as if he had long been used to it.
I coughed dryly, and I emboldened myself.
Come to the Coffin Mountain.
The master stopped and looked at us: "From here, you two can choose one direction for yourself, and when you come to a willow tree that is just hanging down to the tip of your head, you can stop!" Mark and come back! Got it? ”
I felt a chill all over my body: "Do you really want us to go alone?" ”
"Scared?" The master looked at me with some amusement: "Didn't you grow up in Yizhuang since you were a child?" How can you still be afraid of these things? ”
"This is still different, there are at most some lonely souls in Yizhuang, and all of them here are wild ghosts!" I licked my somewhat dry lips: "Besides, when I lived in Yizhuang, my godfather was always with me!" ”
The master patted me: "Is your godfather still with you now?" ”
I shook my head.
The master took a deep breath: "So one day, the master will also leave you like your godfather." When the time comes, if you are faced with such a situation, what are you going to do? ”
My hands trembled slightly, but they clenched them as directly as fiercely: "I understand, master!" ”
"Go, I'll be waiting for you here!" The master nodded.
The junior brother didn't speak, and went directly to the southeast. And I went against my junior brother and walked towards the northwest.
Coffins and corpses can be seen everywhere around. Most of them had completely rotted, and the deep white bones had become extraordinarily oozing under the bright moonlight. I could feel my heart pounding violently, and I walked forward with some tremors and horrors.
I could even hear the wind shuttling back and forth through the trees.
The wicker fluttered in the wind, like a monster with teeth and claws.
I don't know how far I've come, but I just feel like I'm still within the limits of Coffin Mountain. But it was as if a long time had passed, and the surrounding willows were drifting with the wind, and the weather was already a little cooler. So the wind is also particularly biting. None of these wickers could hang down the tip of my head. I was a little dazed and didn't know how long I was going to go.
At this moment, I saw what appeared to be a figure in front of me.
Floating there quietly. I was a little frightened in my heart, I had heard my godfather talk about these things before. My godfather also taught me some ways to deal with it, if I saw someone standing there in Yizhuang, I would not shy away from it and swagger over. It's like not seeing it!
I swallowed a mouthful of foam, holding back my apprehension. Go ahead.
At this moment, the wind suddenly stopped!
A wicker slowly hung down on the tip of my head, as tall as me. At that moment, I felt like my breath had stopped. I didn't know what to say, so the master asked us to make a mark. It should be to choose wood for us to make weapons. Most of the coffin's sticks are made of willow wood. The willow wood nourishes the soul, so it will not cause any damage to the corpse when carrying the coffin.
I took a deep breath, then crouched down and picked up a pebble next to me.
Then he gently carved a leaf word on the willow tree!
"Finally, I found it!" My heart breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was this tone that made me feel that something was wrong. I looked down and saw what was still a stone in my hand. Rather, it was a severed bone, and the broken bone emitted bursts of cold yellow light in my hand.
At this time, the figure in the distance seemed to be gradually walking towards me.
My body took a step back, and the vigilance in my heart was raised to the extreme! This thing was obviously coming at me, and I frowned, and the stick in my hand was tightly gripped. I am going to wave it at any time.
At that moment, the shadow came over.
But the strange thing is that the shadow is not someone else, it is the widow Chen who died before!
Widow Chen looked at me with a miserable smile, as if she wanted to say something to me, but when she opened her mouth, it turned into a very sad ghost howl. She was still wearing the same bright red dowry she had when she died!
"Oh no, this is a sign that you are going to turn into a ghost!" I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Widow Chen, "Aunt Chen! Don't get excited, if there's anything you want to say, tell me slowly. I'll avenge you! ”
I now finally understand why the master buried Widow Chen like that. And what is the 'ghost turning back' that the junior brother is talking about?
